Management are clearly not on top of there game and a lot of sales were lost just from our even as a lot of our guests g
Pros:

It was ok but lacked enough staff to service the number of customers that were in the bars. The room we stayed in was only ok but was adequate. However, the cooked breakfast which although substantial was not of a decent quality. The coffee filter machine which was switched on had cold coffee in the dispenser. The hot water for the tea was not boiling which resulted in a tea which was only tepid. There was no decaf options for my partner who just drank water. The cold buffet consisted of a small amount of fresh fruit and few croissants and bread for toast. The yoghurt for use with the museli was only provided in cheap little cartons. Other serials where in in little boxes reminiscent of an old fashioned bed and breakfast hotel. The waiting staff were young and lacked any form of skills required to carry out their duties, again with any form of management making sure things were being provided correctly.

Cons:

We were part of a large family attending a funeral wake for my late brother. There was only one member of staff on the bar of the room where we held the function and it took over 30 minutes for some people to get a drink. Some of us tried to use the main bar but the two staff who were serving there seemed to be struggling with the volume of regular customers and kept disappearing for quite long periods and eventually one of them disappeared altogether. There was very little selection of quality beers and there were no zero alcohol beers, wines or spirits available for a large number of the guests attending the wake. Very disappointing

Car parking is excellent with free parking for residents if you input your reg number.Also 10% of food and drink if you show your key each time you order.The buffet for our funeral party was excellent and would recommend.Brilliant outdoor seating with TV's.

Cons:

Staff seemed a bit hurried as it got busy.Slight issue with menu and changing items.
